Their harms are already becoming viscerally apparent. They demand answers, first, to the question of what, if anything, we should use these novel tools to do. But we must also ask who should decide the answer to that first question—and how the power that they exercise by way of AI should be constrained. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">If our answer to these questions is not simply the abolitionist call to stop building AI at all, then we need to know just how its use can be justified. To do this, we need to develop a robust new subfield: the normative philosophy of computing. What’s more, the advent of AI in society raises first-order questions in normative philosophy which cannot simply be answered by applying an off-the-shelf solution. The search for low-hanging fruit invariably leads to critical errors and mistranslations. And much existing philosophical work on AI connects only coincidentally to actual AI practice, and rarely makes fundamental headway in philosophy itself. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">There is an urgent need for empirically- and technically-grounded, philosophically ground-breaking work on the normative philosophy of computing. The MINT lab exists to fill that need—through its own work, and through fostering an international community of like-minded researchers. If you’re interested in learning more about this growing field<a href="/contact" target="_blank">, then reach out here</a>, and join <a href="https://mintresearch.org/list">our mailing list here</a>.</p> </div> </div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-6 span-6"><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" data-border-radii="{"topLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"topRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomLeft":{"unit":"px","value":0.0},"bottomRight":{"unit":"px","value":0.0}}" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1645094379747_16067"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class="sqs-html-content"> <h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Sociotechnical AI Safety</h3><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">AI Safety now plays a prominent role in both industry and government attempts to understand and mitigate the risks of advanced AI systems. Researchers have highlighted its constitutive shortcomings: that it is methodologically, demographically, ideologically and evaluatively too narrow for the task it has been set. But while many AI labs and national AI Safety Institutes acknowledge these critiques, they need better theoretical and empirical resources to address them. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Alongside our work in normative philosophy of computing, the MINT Lab is working on bringing a sociotechnical lens to AI safety—leading by example through theoretical and empirical work, but also developing a broader conceptual and practical toolkit for the field. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This is not about identifying a subset of harms/concerns as sociotechnical. Instead it's a lens one applies to the problems of AI safety in general: you can't adequately anticipate threats, weigh their likelihood, or intervene to mitigate them (whether ex ante or post hoc), unless you start from the premise that AI systems are inherently sociotechnical, ie that they are constituted not just by software + hardware but also by people, groups, institutions and structures (etc). </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In other words, even narrowly technical interventions on AI systems should also be sociotechnical, in this sense: the intervention should ideally be guided by a broader understanding of the system that it is intervening in.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule"

The event fostered fruitful discussions on inclusion in AI safety and complicating the conceptual landscape. Participants also identified promising future research directions in the field.
